    Prayers ascending for @Galilit, @Robert Armin, and @idj.

    Folks, the day that I've fearing has arrived. My oncologist called and told me that the echocardiogram I had on Friday indicated that my heart is worse than we thought; the brain MRI indicated that my brain indicates serious expansion of the cancer into my brain and (something new!) spinal fluid; and the X-rays of of my hip and pelvis show that the latter is a pluperfect mess.

    All that anyone has to suggest is opioids. I despise opioids.

    That leaves prayers. I would greatly appreciate yours. Thank you!

    Ross

    Back from hospital. I had an idea which I was keeping in my jeans pocket to use at the end of my consultation: "Why don't we just wait and see? I am not suffering that much. If I tell you how I feel and bring you blood tests every month you can then decide when it's bad enough to change drugs".
    But I didn't even need to as the doctor suggested it himself, saying I was on the best drug even if it was not working at 100% so we will just "wait and see". (They say that in English to show how cool they are.) I will bring him blood tests monthly and tell him how I feel.

    Now I just have to get the bloody thing - probably off one of my insurances - the personal one or the kibbutz one. Fair enough - the Public Purse has its limits which I have far exceeded. Even an old-school Socialist like myself can admit to limits!

    I am over the Moon!
  • Glad to hear your good news @Galilit!

    (I thought I'd already said this.)
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    Happy to read this, @Galilit!
  • Clarification: this last post is the report on my "Now what are we going to do?"consultation with my oncologist after my scan showed progression on existing tumors.
    We are going to wait and see ...

    Ross, from our days on the AOL boards until now you've been an inspiration in wit, snark, and orneriness. You're in my thoughts.
  • @Galilit Prayers that the waiting may be filled with the goodness of life.
